Ever seen his stuff from the 80s? Police Story, Project A part 2, Wheels on Meals, Dragons Forever? His US stuff is tame compared to the balls-to-the-wall extravaganzas he did in Hong Kong before heading west in the mid-90s.

Another great afternoon of film watching with cool ones.THE COLOR PURPLEMan what an awesome masterpiece this thing is. My all times favorite fromSpielberg without a fucking doubt. Woopy is just incredible in this and the photography is totally drop dead gorgeous. Yup, got all I need in a movie. Great story, great shots.666/10

JONAH HEXH3LL I LOOOVE Josh Brolin, the dude's just amazing. And I loved how he plays his character. And there's nothing else I can say about Megan Fox more than I'd screw her for months in a row without stopping. She's beyond gorgeous. I loved how the dude can talk to the dead and his gun is way too cool. I love gatling guns, love them and his is a monster weapon that's for sure. 9/10

"Mean Creek' it's a great movie from the mid 2000s that has Josh from Drake and Josh and one of the Culkin brothers, Rory I think. Great story about bullying, revenge and the results of that. Pretty dark movie for the age of the kids in it, but wonderful movie. It's not a common mainstream release so it's harder to find, but worth it if you can find it.

The Web (1947) - 7.5/10

I went into this thinking it was going to be a B-movie horror flick due to Vincent Price playing the lead role and the fact that the title can be mistaken to mean a literal spider's web, but nope. I got a straight up crime drama, which is cool too. I'm not a big fan of Noir myself, but this was a pretty decent film. I figured who was behind the mayhem earlier than I probably should have, but it has a solid cast, it's engaging, and even a little charming.

Re: Last Mainstream movie you watched.

It's weird. I think what Rza was going for was an old-school chop-socky flick, but the score is typical Rza trip-hop, the story's all over the place, the fights are extremly wire and CGI-heavy and ill-paced and despite it obviously being a period piece set in roughly 1600s China, everybody speaks English and Rza uses modern gangsta lingo. I can see where he's drawing all his influences from, namely classic Change Cheh/Shaw Bros kung fu flicks, but it just wasn't working for me. Like, at all.
